For dinner tonight I pan seared 7.5 oz of scallops. I cooked them for only a few minutes, sprinkling some garlic and salt on them. I also discovered that it's harder than you'd think to measure 1/2 cup of green beans. All in all, it was a very tasty and pleasant meal.
It's getting hard to tell when I'm hungry, and when my body is just processing. Hopefully I'll get more in tune with it and be able to handle it better as time goes on.
After eating, I waited a while and then went for a walk for a half hour. It felt good and I think it will boost my metabolism. If I can keep this up, I'll certain see results.
When I had my appointments on Monday, both the Doctor and the Dietitian asked what my goal weight was. This flummoxed me, as I have many possible goals. My first and most critical goal is to get my good cholesterol up and my blood pressure down, making sure that I'm reasonably healthy aside from my weight. That requires about a 10% lose, or roughly 45lbs. Beyond that, I have a dream weight of about 250, which I think is the extreme limit of what is feasible with diet and exercise. For a more realistic goal, I'd like to get under 300, which would change my classification from morbidly obese to just regular obese. In the end, I just want to be normal fat, not ridiculously fat.
